Report: Stephanie McMahon backstage at WWE Survivor Series

Former WWE co-CEO and chairwoman Stephanie McMahon is reportedly backstage at Survivor Series.

Fightful reports that Stephanie is backstage at Saturday night’s premium live event, but she isn’t working at the show. Fightful notes that Stephanie is “said to be hanging out and visiting, as opposed to being there in a work capacity.”

Survivor Series is being held at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

This January, Stephanie resigned from her position with WWE. Stephanie’s decision to resign from the company coincided with her father Vince McMahon forcing himself back into power as WWE’s executive chairman.

Stephanie had shared the CEO role with Nick Khan following Vince McMahon’s retirement in July 2022. Khan’s current job title is president of WWE.

“I look forward to cheering on WWE from the other side of the business, where I started when I was a little kid, as a pure fan,” Stephanie said when she resigned. “I will always remain dedicated to WWE. I truly love our company, our Superstars, our fans, and our employees.”

Stephanie was also backstage at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year.

Khan has said that WWE would always love to have Stephanie back as part of the company if she wanted to return.
